โTwas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,
Two bunnies were stirringโAlice and Cookie, no mouse!
Bonded sisters so snug, in their pen they do play,
On our live bunny cam, you can watch them all day!
Alice, the adventurer, so bold and so sweet,
Sheโll frolic for hoursโitโs her favorite treat!
Cookie, her sister, quiet but kind,
Follows Alice on adventures, with love intertwined.
These two share their days in the coziest ways,
Cuddling and grooming, through all of their plays.
But a foster they need, a safe home full of cheer,
To help them recover and start their new year.
So if your heartโs ready, apply without delay,
Bring Alice and Cookie home today!
Health Info: Alice and Cookie are health-checked and vaccinated. Their spay surgeries will be completed while in foster care.
Share and tune in to our 24/7 bunny cam for all their adorable antics!

Our 50/50 raffle draw is in one hour! This is your last chance to buy tickets and we're less than $50 to our goal of $2,000 raised! Please consider supporting the animals.
And he already got his Christmas wish: he was cleared for exercise after total hip replacement surgery!
Winston came to us when he was facing euthanasia due to severe hip dysplasia. In early October, he had surgery with a specialist in Ottawa. After a long eight weeks, during which Winstonโs fosters had to work very hard to keep this lovable, excitable guy calm, Winston had an awesome recheck that showed he has healed beautifully.
He has to take his tippy taps one at a time with short walks to build strength, but no doubt Winston will have a very hippy happy holidays with his family.
Winstonโs surgery was a huge undertaking, costing more than $15,000 (and he still needs surgery for his other side!) Thank you so much for making this possible.

Itโs not too late to join our Santa photos fundraiser! There are a few spots left this Sat Nov 30 & Sun Dec 1 - and it looks like Mother Nature will send us snow. โ๏ธ โ๏ธ
Sessions are $45. Youโll receive a high resolution digital file. Thanks to the generosity of Santa and photographers, 100% of funds stay with the rescue.
A few months ago, we had the opportunity to partner with PetSmart to have some of our cats and kittens in our local store. This has brought great exposure to our small, foster home rescue and has helped many cats and kittens find their forever homes, like Robin, Pinto & Milk Dud pictured here.
Regardless of whether theyโre at PetSmart or in a foster home, our same thorough adoption process and standards apply. All applications are reviewed by our team, including vet/personal reference checks, and we do not permit same-day adoptions.
Weโre thrilled to see so many of our cats and kittens finding their forever families!

Weโre sending our love to Winston and his foster family who are in Ottawa now in preparation for his big day tomorrow. This is the first of several possible big surgeries. He is having total hip replacement on his right side. He went to Ottawa for this surgery two weeks ago but it was postponed to tomorrow. Heโs been sporting an interesting half-body shave haircut ever since!
Heโs such a good sport and is happy to cuddle up close with his foster mom tonight. Please send him and his family all the best wishes for tomorrow! Heโs going to be in the absolute best hands but weโre all still nervous โค๏ธ

Meet Nubs. ๐งก
This little dude was found living stray, sleeping in a boat with his siblings. He was born extra special with three legs and a small stump, or nub. As you can see, he gets around just fine and is a happy little guy, but as he has grown, his nub has caused issues, becoming injured and infected.
Yesterday, Nubsโ nub was amputated, which will allow him to live out life without risk of recurring injury and infection.
The surgery cost $932. If youโd like to donate to help with these costs you can do that here on Facebook or via CanadaHelps on our website: https://www.kingstonanimalrescue.com/givenow
Itโs one week to The Forever Gala and this is our final call for sponsors and tickets! ๐พ
The Forever Gala takes place May 3 at the The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts.
We are fundraising for all of our animals, of course, but specifically we need the funds for Winston, a one-year-old black Goldendoodle that we saved from euthanasia. He has severe hip dysplasia and needs full hip replacement, a two-part surgery performed by an orthopaedic specialist that will cost a minimum of $15,000.
Consider getting a group together or donating to the event if canโt join us. We need your support to help raise much-needed funds. Tickets are $150 ea. or $1,400 for a table of 10.
This yearโs gala promises to be a magical evening with a red carpet welcome and photography (with special guest Winston!), signature drink, fine vegan dining catered by the amazing Knifey + Spooney (if youโre not sure about vegan food, trust us, their food is amazing!), talented live music, cozy patio with late-night wood-fired pizza, incredible silent and live auctions, and much more โ all for a great cause!
We are SO incredibly grateful for our amazing sponsors that are making this event happen!

We have until
We rescue and find forever homes for animals in need.
Using a network of foster homes, we take in last chance animals - animals that are at high risk of euthanasia or those that would otherwise be at risk without our help. This includes animals at shelters and stray animals. We also assist in emergency rescues, including small animals removed from neglectful situations.
Our priority is small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, gerbils, mice, hedgehogs, ferrets, and others, as there is no other rescue group in our community dedicated to these types of animals. We regularly take in cats and occasionally dogs. We rarely accept owner surrendered animals.
As a no-kill rescue, our animals stay in foster homes until they are adopted. We work to educate the public about the proper care and treatment of animals as well as the pet overpopulation crisis and the importance of spaying/neutering and adoption.
In 2012-13 Kingston Animal Rescue championed the creation of a by-law to ban the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in Kingston pet stores. After an intense year of council meetings, petitioning and public outreach, a by-law that restricts the sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in Kingston pet stores to shelter and/or rescue animals only came into effect on August 14, 2013. Kingston now has one of the most progressive pet store by-laws in the country.
